In the dance, success & egrave; He went to emerging hosts Natalia Kaliszek and Maxim Spodyriev (157.45), who filed the second claim of a career in event of level B. The victory, however, took on a different flavor to Kaliszek, born and raised just in Torun. Skaters peak of Polish movement were imposed smoothly in both segments of the race by clocking the best technical score and assessment pi & ugrave; high on each component of the program. It & egrave; perci & ograve; ended the most of & rsquo; last rehearsal for the upcoming European Championships in Bratislava, where Kaliszek / Spodyriev present themselves at the starting line with the & rsquo; aim of winning a placing in the top ten.
In second place we were placed the Japanese Kana Muramoto / Chris Reed (149.91), for the first time in the throes of an event outside the confines of the home. Placing aside, students Marina Zoueva have greatly exceeded the minimum technical requirements to take part in the World Cup pulling the ticket to Boston.

In the men, the & rsquo; Israeli Alexei Bychenko (228.52) had easily because of competition revealing the lack of physical condition in the first part of the season. The twenty-seven of the Ukrainian school completed during race two triple axels three quadruple toe loop, skating three minutes of free program absolute value enhanced by & nbsp; combination triple lutz / euler / triple salchow. Notwithstanding the & rsquo; unresolved enigma called & ldquo; & rdquo ;, elements spinner Bychenko gave the clear impression that they could try to reconfirm the prestigious fourth place in & rsquo; last edition of the European Championships. The podium & egrave; completed from & rsquo; Armenian Slavik Hayrapetyan (163.39), able to land a triple axel in the short program, and from & rsquo; Azeri Larry Loupolover (160.34). & nbsp; The nineteen year old Tyrolean Jari Kessler (151.37), the only Italian in the race, got a brilliant sixth place managing to complete two double axel and four triple jumps in the free program.
In the women, at the end of a race of two halves, the Latvian Angelina Kuchvalska (152.43) has defended the title won last season by getting the fourth win of his career in a class event B. The seventeen Riga & egrave; It was flawless short program, opened by a triple lutz and a triple combination toe loop / triple toe loop, but in the segment pi & ugrave; long race & egrave; It was abandoned by lutz and flip. The screenplay & egrave; It was the same for the second-ranked Anastasia Galustyan (145.62). & Nbsp; The sixteen Armenian well completed in the short program and the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop that the triple flip preceded by step, but he messed up all attempts aimed performed jumps in the free program. On the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium & egrave; He accommodated the sixteen year old American Amy Lin (145.06), which this season has decided to defend the colors of Taipei. The historical training partner Karen Chen & egrave; It was the best of the lot in the segment pi & ugrave; long race outperforming the competition on each of the evaluation components of the program, but, for only fourteen cents, missed the technical minimum to take part in the World Cup. The main disappointment of the test port, however, the name of Ma & egrave; Berenice Meite (135.59). The twenty-Alps, filed a short program competition, & egrave; fall into ruin on two attempted triple lutz the free program, however, both short rotation, without forgetting a long series of landings decidedly uncertain, which have contributed to its fall from seventh to third position.
